Novation Impulse 61 USB MIDI Controller Keyboard

The Novation Impulse 61 USB MIDI Controller Keyboard comes from a line of professional USB MIDI controllers made exclusively by Novation. Impulse has 8 back-lit drum pads which can warp arpeggios, roll beats and launch clips in Ableton Live. The Impulse 61 controller keyboard has a precision keyboard and a full control surface powered by Automap 4 control software. Automap 4 makes getting hands-on with your DAW/plug-ins fast and simple.

Novation worked with all the major DAW and plug-in manufacturers to make sure the Impulse 61 controller keyboard gives you the instant mixer control, transport controls and plug-in instruments, and effects that you need. The full control surface bypasses all of the confusing knobs, faders and buttons that many MIDI controllers have and gives you Automap control software instead. Automap gives you intuitive and instant mapping to everything you need to control right from your Impulse 61!

Ableton Live gives you the power to do things that other drums can’t. The 8 drum pads can launch clips in Live and show you what's going on based on its color. The three colors tell you if a clip is playing (green), loaded (yellow) or recording (red) making Impulse the best controller keyboard for Ableton Live.

The precision keyboard on the Impulse 49 can be called the "player's" keyboard. It was designed to feel like an instrument rather than a computer peripheral. It has semi-weighted with assignable aftertouch with exceedingly accurate expression. Bottom line - the Impulse 61 controller keyboard gives you everything you need to keep your music and creative juices flowing.

Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
seems well built, but not to heavy that you can not take it and play live on stage, although I will be using it for mostly Studio work< I like having options.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
I like the fact that you can control Ableton, Sonar Producer and quite a few other DAW programs, after setting them up with "Automap4".
Ease of Use
How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be?
some of the features are straight forward, but there is a large learning curve, the keys feel real similar to the Yamaha DX7 from the 1970's and I like that, seeing as this is what I am upgrading from.
Sound
How is its Tone?
The sound of the controller will only be as good as your sound equipment is, it has no internal sounds.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
I'm running WinXPSP2, and it took multiple attempts to install the Drivers for the controller, eventually "Automap4" found and stall it. You must use the latest version of Ableton Live or the controller will not be listed, so you have to install the light version that comes with the controller.
